Shengjing Noble

Chapter 306 Keep yourself clean

Nuanxiang Pavilion.

Su Lanyin followed the county magistrate and others to the crime scene, Yu'er's room.

The little maid was stabbed to death from behind. She lay on the ground in a pool of blood, with her eyes open.

Her head was facing the door, and she obviously wanted to escape from the room. If the murderer came in through the door, she would not dare to run out.

Unless, after she came in, she found the murderer hiding in the room, so she immediately turned around and ran out, and then was stabbed to death by the murderer from behind.

It all happened very quickly, and during the day, so there was no way the murderer could have done it without anyone noticing.

Thinking of this, Su Lanyin immediately went forward to check Yu'er's body. It was still warm, so the time of death should have been no more than a cup of tea.

"Sir, please seal off Nuanxiang Pavilion immediately!"

The county magistrate said unhappily, "Why should I listen to you?"

Seeing that he was singing a different tune, Su Lanyin could only resort to provocation.

"Sir, the deceased must have died not long ago, and the murderer may not have escaped. You don't seal off the Nuanxiang Pavilion. Do you want to protect the murderer? Are you involved in this case? No wonder you have been trying to force Kang Chenxi to confess. It turns out that you are the umbrella behind the murderer!"

She deliberately raised the volume so that the crowd of people outside who were watching the fun could hear it clearly and couldn't help but talk about it.

"Could it be that this murderer has really bribed the county magistrate?"

"Oh my god, even the officials are protecting the murderer. Will we have to live in fear from now on?"

"Another one died, and it was all women. Could this murderer be targeting women?"

"Kang Chenxi is still in the court, and someone is killing people here to silence them. It's obvious that the murderer is someone else!"

……

There were many different opinions, and the county magistrate's face looked very ugly. Even if he was really in cahoots with the murderer behind the scenes, he didn't dare to cover up for him anymore.

After all, compared to the dirty money, the official hat and the head are obviously more important.

So, he reluctantly ordered people to seal off the scene. When the onlookers were about to leave, they saw Su Lanyin directly closed the door.

"I'm sorry, everyone. You're already here, so you can't leave easily."

"Why? We are just joining in the fun, we are not murderers!"

"That's right, why don't you let us go?"

"Open the door quickly! I don't want to be with the dead and the murderer!"

……

Everyone wanted to rush forward, but Su Lanyin suddenly snatched the knife from the constable beside her and held it in front of them.

"Don't worry, I will find out who the murderer is and then let you go. If anyone breaks in by force, don't blame me for treating him as the murderer!"

A leading citizen asked, "How do you know who the murderer is?"

Su Lanyin glanced at everyone and explained in a cold voice: "The deceased was stabbed to death. There was no murder weapon on his body or in the room. This means that the murder weapon was on the murderer. As long as the body is searched, it will be clear who the murderer is."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone looked at each other, and then expressed their agreement to the body search. After all, they also wanted to help the government catch the murderer.

The officers lined up the people and searched them one by one, while the women were searched by Su Lanyin.

Even the people in Nuanxiang Pavilion will be searched.

At this moment, a figure suddenly rushed towards the gate, obviously trying to escape.

The officers immediately stepped forward to stop them, but the other party was very skilled in martial arts and took them by surprise, so he quickly managed to rush to the gate.

The moment he opened the door, a huge force hit his chest, and then the man flew several meters away, and his back hit the big tree in the yard.

Su Lanyin said: "He is the murderer, catch him quickly!"

The captain of the police was the first to react. He immediately took his men to hold the man down, and then successfully searched out a blood-stained dagger from him.

"We found the murder weapon!"

The murderer was caught, and everyone was amazed.

"It's the murderer! This girl is really good at predicting things!"

"Yeah, he's really a detective. He caught the murderer so quickly!"

"Who is he? Did he also kill the first victim?"

……

Everyone was very excited for a moment.

Su Lanyin looked at the county magistrate: "Sir, can Kang Chenxi be released without charge now?"

The county magistrate nodded grimly, and then said: "Come here, release Kang Chenxi without guilt, and also take this murderer back for strict interrogation!"

"Yes!"

Fu Wuyang walked into the courtyard at this time and nodded quietly at Su Lanyin. The meaning was very clear, he had already found out something.

……

Inside the carriage.

Kang Chenxi came out of the prison and got on the carriage, and said with tears in his eyes: "Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you Miss Su for saving my life!"

"You're welcome. We'll take you back to the Kang family to rest first."

"Yes."

Su Lanyin took this opportunity to quickly ask: "My Lord, what did you find out?"

"Yes." Fu Wuyang nodded. "After the cup was confirmed, I immediately returned to Kang Mansion to observe. Sure enough, two servants ran back to tip off."

"Let me guess, is it the eldest lady and the second concubine?"

"That's right!"

"Then do you know who sent the killer?"

"The murderer left from the Madam's yard, but this prince finds it a little strange."

"What's weird?"

"No matter how stupid the Madam is, how could she directly let her people kill people to silence them? If she were discovered, wouldn't she be unable to defend herself?"

Kang Chenxi sighed, with helplessness flashing in his eyes: "She must be too anxious, afraid that Yu'er would admit that she was ordered by her, so she was careless."

Su Lanyin had a gloomy face and didn't say anything.

The carriage soon stopped in front of Kang Mansion.

The first lady and the second concubine were standing on the steps outside the door. When they saw Kang Chenxi coming down, they immediately came down to greet him with worried looks on their faces.

"Oh Chenxi, you're finally back. Auntie was so worried!"

Feng Piaopiao was very concerned, but her enthusiasm was too much, making her seem a little hypocritical and artificial, and she also felt a little guilty.

Jiang Xuan, who was standing by, didn't show much expression, but just said something meaningful: "Congratulations on your safe return."

The tone sounded somewhat regretful.

Seeing that Chenxi didn't say anything, he let the two of them follow him one after the other and then walked into the mansion.

Su Lanyin and Fu Wuyang followed behind, looking at the three people, and couldn't help chatting in low voices.

"A stepmother and a second aunt. Kang Chenxi has been surrounded by these women in the backyard since he was a child. No wonder he is such a romantic when he grows up."

"Being surrounded by women makes you amorous? There are many more women in the palace than those in the Kang family."

Hearing the man's disdain, she smiled and asked, "So, Your Majesty was also surrounded by concubines when he was a child?"

"Don't talk nonsense, I'm not that casual!"

"Speaking of which, the prince is already in his twenties, how come he doesn't have two concubines? Could it be that..."

"That means I am a clean person!"

"But this is not in line with human nature, Your Majesty..." Su Lanyin said earnestly, "If you feel uncomfortable, please get treatment. Don't delay."
